Load Configuration Files

To load and parse configuration files, set the directory where the files are located and invoke the load() method.

$loader->setDirectory('path-to-config-files/');
$loader->load();

$repository = $loader->getConfig();

Note

When used inside a Laravel application, the loaded configuration is merged into the application's existing configuration.

Nested Directories

The Loader will automatically scan through nested directories and attempt to load and parse each found file. Imagine the following structure.

config/
    modules/
        box.json
        circle.yml
        user.neon
        server.toml
    main.ini
    core.php

Once these files are loaded, the nested directories then become part of the configuration name. This means that if you need to access the property width, inside box.json, then you must state the full name for it.

$loader->setDirectory('config/');
$loader->load();
$repository = $loader->getConfig();

$width = $repository->get('modules.box.width');
